Urge of an Orphan

How long shall we carry

This sobriquet of orphan

On our lean chests,

To be chased out of this world

Like unwanted intruders.

Are we born out of love

Or simply bedroom acrobatics

Of a moment of flickering candles

And counting of dirty notes

In scornful measures?

Are we a burden on mankind

To be forsaken forlorn,

Our screams and broken dreams

Do not reach stubborn hearts!

We urge to be lifted, cuddled

By arms of motherly love,

Fatherly care and attention

We must live in a home and family.

This is our only prayer

To God who brought us here.
